I've noticed a number of posts mentioning the use of isopropyl alcohol as a means of extracting fentanyl from certain sources (e.g. fentanyl patch) The theory stated to justify using isopropyl alcohol was that it is less toxic than denatured alcohol. Whether that's the case or not, my question is whether "Un-denatured, anhydrous ethyl alcohol (100 percent / 200 proof)" can be used as the safest alternative?
I noticed several chemical supply companies sell 250 mL to 500 mL bottles of Un-denatured 100 percent ethanol for between $35 - $70 (depending on volume). However, I'm a little bit wary as to whether the product could still contain minute contaminants making it unsafe for human consumption. The companies mention a disclaimer that the alcohol being sold is not meant for human consumption. Yet isn't the definition of "Un-denatured" that the substance is in fact fit for human consumption. The price for the product factors in payment of the federal excise tax for non-denatured ethyl alcohol.
In short: (1) How safe is un-denatured, anhydrous 100 percent ethyl alcohol and (2) is there any particular value to using such a product as a fentanyl solvent?
